I Joined the PBA For Peace of Mind

I joined the PBA for peace of mind.  In today's time you never know what might happen.  I now know there is someone on my side when I need it. I also find it comforting knowing there is no limit to the help I will receive.  Another benefit is having an area chapter made up of fellow officers from my area.  I have met several officers that I probably would have not met otherwise.
